Note: The examples will show usage of SW modules and APIs on a specific CPU instance and OS combination.
Unless noted otherwise, the SW modules would work on all supported EVMs; The examples use the ICSS-EMAC driver from the Industrial Communication SDK package. This driver support will be moved to MCU+ SDK in the future releases.

New in this Release

Feature

Starting from Industrial Communications SDK 11.00.00.13, using the EtherCAT example requires downloading the Beckhoff SSC stack from the ETG website and rebuilding the library as described in the following documentation:

For EtherCAT example evaluation without access to Beckhoff SSC, please use the evaluation package.
